Cotto vs Urkal, what to expect?

[Pugilistic]

cotto KO thats it

[boozeboxer]

This was a fighter that HBO didn't want Hatton to take because it was not appealing at all.

[THE THIRD MAN]

Urkal is a good fighter but at 37 i can't see him troubling Cotto to much.
How he is still rated so highly has me baffled after two losses to Vivian Harris!
Urkal is tough and Cotto will probably have to go the distance.

Urkal must be damn tuff then. Of course Paulie Faganaggi went the distance, so Urkal could too. But I doubt it from what I am hearing. Cotto looks strong at 147, not weight drained a bit, and he's destined for greatness.

[Steelie]

Cotto by stoppage round 4/5.

If this was in Germany I think Urkal might try and make a fight of it, one last hurrah and all that.

Since it's in PR, I think he'll happily take the contribution to his pension. I know these guys are proud but sheer common sense says do enough and just enough.





Can you imagine if Urkals does win though

[BoomBoom]

Urkal will come out stron and probably win 2 or 3 of the early rounds but i think Cotto will break him down early to the body and stop the older fighter in 5 or 6

[Wadeb_21]

To be honest I'm not really even looking forward to this fight because I think Cotto is going to have him out of there inside of 5 rounds. I think the Miranda vs Greene is going to steal the show I think most people are looking more forward to that fight then the Cotto fight.

And if that wouldn't be sad enough...he only managed a pretty close UD against the 2-4-1...
I have the feeling that Cotto will eat Urkal alive...

[SigmaMu]

Oktay Urkal is another Carlos Baldomir. He is old, foriegn, hard headed and hits soft.
I hope Cotto does not waste much time with this guy.
We never know with Cotto.
Prediction?
Cotto in 3.
It should be Cotto in 1 but Cotto likes to take his time.

You're going to see an older fighter get hammered from pillar to post for about 5 rounds before he licks canvas.

He fought Kostya Tszyu with a broken Jaw and fought the rematch with Vivian Harris sick and with a broken nose. He's tough
